Dew paranoia

[redneon]

I was planning on taking some photos of Jupiter last night, prime focus with my DSLR, but chickened out because I was worried about getting dew on my camera sensor (with there being no lens, there's no protection for the sensor). Is this something I should be genuinely worried about or am I just paranoid? After all, I'm sure my telescope got a fair bit of dew on the mirror...

The sensor will be a few degrees warmer than ambient so dew shouldn't be a problem.

my sensor runs about +16 deg depending how cold it is, last night was really dewy i had no issues wouldnt worry
